“I have reviewed Alejandro in the past, but he has been walking our Yorkie, Champy for a couple years. He is so caring and thorough with Champy. Champy also has some special needs, which Alejandro handles confidently. Highly recommend!”

About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare/Sitting Business called Bark & Purr, so I already have experience taking care and training many different dogs and cats. I am currently doing a side hustle job in landscaping! But the hours are very flexible, so I am free nonstop, especially during the afternoon - evenings. I have two huge parks and a fenced dog park to bring your fur baby to! The apartment is very spacious and dog friendly so you don't have to worry about your dog feeling stressed and claustrophobic.

“This was my first time using Rover and Victor made a great first impression! He was able to get my shy pup to open up and by the end of the booking, they were besties! He was very great with communication and always made sure to let me know how my dog was doing. Would recommend Victor to a friend!”

“Jessica is the best !!! She came on time and was very polite. She greeted my princess with so much love, it was very good to see how much she cares for pets. She also went above and beyond and change the water bowl for princess. This was truly an amazing experience 100% satisfied. Thank you!!!!”


About: All my life I’ve had a love for animals and my fair share of pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own, not just a job to check off. I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m very reliable with feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and keeping their environment clean.What really sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ pets. I actively engage with them, whether that’s playtime, enrichment, or just giving them the attention and affection they need. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have a lot of free time to walk or visit your fur babies whenever needed! I responsibly care for dogs in their home by following routines, providing food, exercise, and companionship, maintaining cleanliness, monitoring health, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
“Megan is amazing with our dachshund mix, Mr. Harold. He has some separation anxiety and her weekly walks with him have been so amazing on the days we’re in-office. I can’t recommend Megan enough!!”

“Marion was very patient with Astro. She is always considerate and polite. She is very accommodating with my family’s requests regarding Astro’s care. Would 100% book her again!”

“Joseph was fantastic! Extremely reliable, and my dog absolutely loved their walks together. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes through my own pets and by helping friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send photo updates after every visit because I know how reassuring it is for pet parents to see their furry family member happy and well cared for. From energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet receives the highest quality care. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to every visit. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet owner’s needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or extra playtime, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always keep a clean, calm environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.
About: Hi! My name is Emily. I'm 24 years old and work part-time in the city. Nice to E-meet you!🤗 While I might not have a PhD in puppy training, my secret is pure love and dedication to pet care🐾. I absolutely love cats and dogs! I've volunteered at my local vet in the past, showing up to help care the strays. And my childhood fur friends? Ginger, the Shitzu, King, the K-9, and Princess, the Golden Retriever. My genuine passion and love for animals makes me your furry friend's next favorite hangout buddy! Pet care seamlessly weaves into my schedule. Working part-time leaves me with ample free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm flexible, ready to dive into dog walks or play sessions whenever you need – particularly from 11 am to 4 pm. So, your furry friends won't just get care; they'll get a playmate on their schedule. At my place, it's a no-go for pet hosting. But in your home? It's all about your rules. We'll have a chat about what's fair game and what's a no-paw zone for your pets. I'm there solely for the pet care – making sure your furballs are happy and cozy in their own territory.
About: In the span of my life, I had 4 dogs and currently I am taking care of 1. I also have taken care of family and friends' dog by bathing, feeding and walking them. I'm currently a full-time student at Mercy university meaning I could schedule walks or pet-sitting around my classes and study sessions. It can also be a relaxing break that helps me recharge while getting some fresh air. Plus, pet care can be flexible, allowing me to pick times that fit best with my weekly schedule. When caring for pets as a dog walker, I prioritize preparation and safety, ensuring pets have everything needed for a comfortable walk. I monitor their behavior closely, adjust pace based on energy levels, and offer personalized updates post-walk. I’m flexible with scheduling, accommodating my school responsibilities and my clients’ needs.
About: I spent four years fostering dogs, mostly large breeds, helping them settle in, build routines, and get ready for their forever homes. I’m confident and calm with big dogs, and patient with shy or anxious ones. I’ve also been a cat lover my entire life and understand that cats require things done their own way, with their own boundaries. At home I have my own foster fails, my dog Gene Gene, and my cat Kitty, so I know how much your pet means to you. I’m reliable, punctual, and detail oriented. I’ll follow your routine exactly and send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. I live in Upper Manhattan and love walking the neighborhood parks. I’d be happy to meet you and your pet before booking. I’m currently flexible, but prefer midday. I am near Fort Tryon Park and Inwood Hill Park. Let me know your pet’s preferred schedule. I take cat and dog care seriously. I see humans as guardians of our furry friends, and I will protect and guide yours like my own. Fierce nurturer!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
We had a great experience with Ellie! She took great care with Riley, who can be a quirky dog. She was well cared for, and very communicative about timing and details about the walk. Ellie is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. We’ll definitely be booking again.

Renso has been wonderful with Leah. He’s gentle and patient with her, which means a lot because she’s been grieving the loss of her person. He communicates clearly and often, so even though I don’t live nearby, I always know how the walk went. He texts when he arrives instead of ringing the bell, which keeps Leah calm. He’s been very accommodating when we’ve changed the schedule, and he’s easy to work with. We’re so grateful for him. Highly recommend!

It is so hard to find a reliable, dependable, trustworthy person that will come into your home when you are not there and care for your furry baby. Shelly is that person. She is kind, loving, flexible and truly cares for animals. Shelly, thank you for the love you give to Cavi and the dedication you have to this profesion.

Hana was amazing with ocean. First dog walker where he goes willingly without any convincing on the first try ! Which is a great sign since ocean is generally a shy and nervous dog when he doesn’t know someone at first. Hana was also very punctual and accommodating and amazing with ocean . Will definitely Book her again for ocean 🌊 💙 look no further and book Hana !!

had a great experience with Annalee! She was right on time, took great care of Romeo, and did an awesome job taking him for his walk. I really appreciated that she kept me updated with pictures and let me know when he peed and pooped. She was kind, reliable, and very attentive. I would definitely recommend her and will happily book with her again! 🐶❤️
